A disconnect including: an input hub; an output race including a radially inner surface with ramps; wedge plate segments radially disposed between the input hub and the output race, each segment including a ramp in contact with an outer race ramp; an actuator cage; and an actuator plate. For a connect mode, the input hub, the wedge segments, and the output race transmit torque from an electric motor of an electrically-powered vehicle to a wheel of the vehicle. In a disconnect mode, relative rotation between the input hub and the output race is enabled. To transition from the connect mode to the disconnect mode: the actuator plate is displaced by an actuator; the actuator plate axially displaces the actuator cage; and the actuator cage circumferentially displaces the wedge plate segments to decrease or break frictional contact between the wedge plate segments and the input hub.
